Chicago examiner sunday vol x no 12 a m Chicago september 19 1909 sunday price five centb see open split in republican party through taft's tariff talk by william hoster excommunicates majority in middle west minnesota's political prediction johnson sends welcome dying governor dictates mes sage president prays he'll live to save nation minneapolis minn sept 18.-an open split in the republican party and a bitter fight for control at the congressional elections next november between the pro gressives and the old line members of the party is the outcome predicted as a result of president taft's tariff speech at winona last night with an exception this is the view taken by the republican press of minneapolis and st paul and politicians generally agree with it it is a curious fact that no one seems particularly surprised over the president's utterances and it is equal ly curious that there is little bitterness or animosity displayed toward him his re ception in the twin cities to-day was by no means enthusiastic but that is attrib uted more to the fact that governor john son lies at the point of death than that the president has adopted a stand ou the tariff question that is diametrically op posed to the views of the majority of the people here wherever the president went to-day there were crowds but his welcome was limited to hand-clapping and the waving of handkerchiefs and flags with spas modic cheers here and there practically the only demonstration accorded him was t the auditorium in st paul where 3,000 people cheered hit for several minutes but then the president delivered an elo hoent tribute to the stricken governor think he went too far the general opinion with regard to the iwinona speech seems to be that mr Taft ent too far it was expected that he would rally to the assistance of his friend tawney who is hard beset by ms enemies among the low tariff republicans that was expected of a stalwart manly triend and it was also expected that the president having signed the bill would not stultify himself by attempting to crawl ent of the position in which he had placed fcimself by his own act but when by experience and broadly at that the president in his remarks about party solidarity read out of the party all the republicans who opposed the bill the simple truth is that he excommunicated a majority of the republicans of the middle west they are good republicans out here but the majority of them can't and won't fol low the president when he says tbat party solidarity should be put above the rates in any schedule of the tariff bill they can't and won't agree that the payne bill is the best tariff law that has ever been passed and they refuse to accept the president's statement that the tariff ques tion is settled even for the time being they have no fight against him either as a man or as president senator clapp one of the most persist ent and determined of the progressives presided at the meeting this afternoon at the st paul auditorium and the relations tietween him and the president were ap parently as cordial as ever fires the opening gun but inasmuch as the president has lined up with the old line republicans against the progressive the latter believing tbat in the long run the life of the republican party rests with their cause are deter mined to accept his challenge and the republican voters of the stale will be asked at the next primaries to decide the opening gun in the fight was prac tically fired by the president himself last night for as representative tawney was the only member of the minnesota delega tion in either branch of congress to vote for the payne-aldrich bill the fight will necessarily wage around him tawney has tremendous personal popu larity and
